With an abundance of starting pitching following this morning’s Jon Lester trade, the Oakland Athletics have flipped Tommy Milone to the Twins for Sam Fuld. Milone had a 3.55 ERA in 16 major league starts this season, but was demoted to AAA following Oakland’s acquisitions of Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel at the beginning of […]

Jon Lester has been moved, and while the location isn’t necessarily a surprise, the return has many mouths agape. Jon Lester and Jonny Gomes from Boston to Oakland in exchange for Yoenis Cespedes. You wanted a blockbuster? You got a blockbuster. The Red Sox also picked up a competitive balance pick from the A’s in […]

When Manny Machado made this throw, he was a good four steps into foul territory, going away from the infield cutout. His throw to first base didn’t bounce at all, and still managed to nab Albert Pujols by a good ten feet. I think he’s healthy, folks.

This is just awful. The Pirates had a chance to blow their game with the Giants wide open in the sixth inning after Jean Machi walked Chris Stewart to load the bases with one out. And then…disaster. Travis Snider, who was on second base at the time of the walk, inexplicably began to trot down […]

Hey, the Cubs are still active at the trade deadline! But instead of selling at this moment, they’re…buying? Felix Doubront looked like a nice buy low candidate this summer, especially after he seemingly burned his bridges with Boston by demanding some stability in his career. He’ll head to the Cubs with all three of his […]

The trade deadline is in a little more than 25 hours, but the chaos has already begun. The Cleveland Indians are sending starting pitcher Justin Masterson to the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for minor league outfielder James Ramsey. The 29-year old Masterson will be a free agent at the end of the year, and […]

Before Tuesday night’s Athletics-Astros game at Minute Maid Park, WWE Hall of Famer Booker T threw out the first pitch before the game. Ho-hum. Then, Astros mascot Orbit paid tribute to the wrestler by copying his signature move, the spinaroonie. Calling this “glorious” may be a slight understatement. Just for the hell of it, SBNation […]

On Sunday, the Rays are giving away a Wil Myers bike horn to kids 14 and under. And quite frankly, it’s terrifying. The Rays are an organization that typically has very innovative and unique giveaways, and this is certainly one of them. That doesn’t change the fact that it’s freaking horrifying, though.

Clayton Kershaw was a guest on Monday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live. During a segment, Kimmel wanted Kershaw to throw a baseball at him to knock an apple off of his head. Kershaw eventually succeeded, but not before hilariously smashing Kimmel in the face.

With runners on the corners, Miami Marlins pitcher Tom Koehler took a Chris Carter line drive off his back, but rather than hitting him square, it ricocheted up in the air just beyond second base where shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria was waiting to catch it. Your typical 1-6 liner-pop-out putout. Koehler stayed in the game.

It turns out the Dodgers and Diamondbacks don’t even get along at the Triple-A level. A massive brawl broke out early in Saturday night’s game between the Albuquerque Isotopes and Reno Aces. After nearly being hit with a pitch, Erisbel Arruebarrena was eventually called out on strikes. He apparently shoved Reno catcher Blake Lalli after […]
